Recent Defence Procurement in India

In recent times, India has accelerated the domestic and foreign purchase of

weapons in the wake of a border clash with Chinese troops and to fortify India’s borders

against rise in infiltration cases from Pakistan. India spends billions in the defence

sector to strengthen its Armed Forces and to safeguard its territory. Indian Army as we

know is the world's largest Standing army in the world with strength of around 1.4

million. India is also one of the world's largest importers of arms and ammunition.

In the year 2019, the Government finalised a road map to spend $130 billion to

modernise the Armed Forces and bolster capabilities to effectively counter the

challenges from its neighbouring countries like Pakistan and China. The plan includes

acquisition of a wide variety of arms and armament that includes missiles, warships,

drones, fighter jets, surveillance equipment and creation of architecture for Artificial

Intelligence. The Indian Army undertakes its ongoing modernisation at a consistent

pace. The Indian Army has undertaken in the preceding year efforts to restructure and optimise its manpower for greater finances to be made available for procurement.

Recent India and US Basic Exchange and Cooperation Agreement for Geo-

spatial Cooperation (BECA) deal on 27 October, 2020 in Delhi shows that the Indian

Government has always been keen on digitising military applications. Broadly, there are

four important aspects in the field of Battle field digitisation, which in military parlance is

termed as Network Centric Warfare. These are Information Sharing, Improved Situation

Awareness, Speed of Command and Enhanced Mission Effectiveness. This is

characterised by the aspects of Reconnaissance, Surveillance and Target Acquisition.

The Indian Army this has been taking necessary steps towards the process of digitization.

On 12 May, 2020, Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has given call for a

self-reliant India based on the five pillars, i.e., Economy, Infrastructure, System,

Demography & Demand and announced a special economic package for Self-Reliant

India named ‘Atamnirbhar Bharat’. Following our Hon’ble Prime Minister’s call for “Vocal

for Local” and launch of Atma Nirbhar Bharat Abhiyan (Self-Reliant India Campaign),

the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has pulled out its capital acquisition manual to promote greater self-reliance in defence production.

On 8 August, 2020, our Defence Minister urged for giving a big push to the

"Atma Nirbhar Bharat" initiative and for introducing import embargo on 101 items

(Annexure-I) beyond the given timeline to boost indigenization of defence production. The

embargo on imports was planned to be progressively implemented from 2020 to 2024

and giving a great step on making India Aatmnirbhar (self-reliant). In order to provide

impetus to self-reliance in defence manufacturing, multiple announcements were made

under ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat Package’. In implementing such framework and to position

India amongst the leading countries of the world in defence and aerospace sectors, the

Ministry of Defence (MoD) has formulated a draft Defence Production and Export

Promotion Policy 2020 (DPEPP 2020). The DPEPP 2020 is envisaged as an

overarching guiding document of MoD to provide a focussed, structured and significant thrust to defence production capabilities of the country for self-reliance and exports.

The policy has laid out following goals and objectives:

1. To achieve a turnover of Rs 1,75,000 Crores (US$ 25Bn), including export of Rs

35,000 Crore (US$ 5 Billion) in Aerospace and Defence goods and services by

2025.

2. To develop a dynamic, robust and competitive Defence industry, including

Aerospace and Naval Shipbuilding industry to cater to the needs of Armed forces

with quality products.

3. To reduce dependence on imports and take forward "Make in India" initiatives

through domestic design and development.

4. To promote export of defence products and become part of the global defence

value chains.

5. To create an environment that encourages R&D, rewards innovation, creates

Indian IP ownership and promotes a robust and self-reliant defence industry.

communication systems, weapons systems, eight anti-surface Hellfire Missiles

which can be used to hit at ships, MK 54 Lightweight Torpedoes, 50 cannons and precision rocket systems.

MH-60 helicopters are manufactured by Lockheed Martin's Sikorsky

Aircraft and will be procured by India via Government-to-Government route. The

said helicopter is US Navy's primary anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare

helicopter. It is capable enough to do search, rescue and supply missions. These

helicopters will replace Sea King anti-submarine warfare helicopters of the Indian Navy.

(iv) India-US Guardian Drones Deal: The US and the Indian Government signed a

$ 2-3 billion deal for the Guardian drones in 2018. The US Government has

cleared the sale of 22 predator Guardian drones to India. The drones are

manufactured by General Atomics. The Guardian drone can be used for wide-area, long-endurance maritime

This means that these artillery guns can be taken from one position to another using the helicopter, even if it is inhospitable terrain.

In September 2015, a deal worth $3 billion which included 22 Boeing AH-64E Apache Longbow attack Helicopters and 15 Chinook heavy-lift machines were signed and it has an inbuilt clause for follow-on orders for 11 more Apaches and seven Chinooks. The contract for the Chinook helicopters was for $1.1 billion.

(vii) Apache AH-64 E: The first Apache attack helicopter, India’s first pure

attack helicopter, was delivered in March, 2020. Considered to be one of the most deadly attack helicopters in the world, Boeing has sold over 2,200 of these machines since 1984.The Apache comes with 30-mm cannon under the nose that can fire 1,200 rounds in less than two minutes. It is also equipped with 70-mm rockets that can be guided or unguided. The Apache can carry 80 of them in one go besides the Hellfire missiles. The deal was signed between India and the United States on 25th February, 2020. The Apache deal follows an earlier purchase in September 2015 of 22 AH-64Es allocated to the Indian Air Force.

hi-tech civilian products. This set the defence deals between India and Russia to

cross $16 billion.

Russia is committed to implementing a contract within the promised time

frame. This includes the supply of S-400 air defence systems and the production

of Kalashnikov rifles and Kamov helicopters. Rosoboronexport, Russia's state-

run organization,has signed deals with DRDO for advanced pyrotechnic ignition

systems, HAL, for the export of spares and services to allies, and BHEL for land

systems.

Another deal was signed between Russian Helicopters and Indo-Russian

Helicopters Ltd to localise the components used in Kamov Ka-226 helicopters. India is planning to purchase 200 Ka-226 helicopters.

India has already made the payment of the first tranche in 2019 for five S-400 systems. The deal is approximately $5.4 billion.

(ii) India-Russia air-to-air Missiles Deal: The Government of India has signed Rs

1,500 crore deal with Russia in July, 2019 to procure R-27 air-to-air missiles

to be equipped on the Su-30MKI combat aircraft. This deal will boost India's

capabilities beyond visual range warfare.

(C) India-Israel Defence Pact: In March, 2020, the Government of India has

signed Rs 880 crore deal with the Israel Weapons Industries (IWI) to procure

16,479 Negev 7.62x51 mm light machine guns (gas-operated) for the Indian

Armed Forces. (D) Fleet Vessel Ship Agreement with Turky

In October 2019, India put the FVS (Fleet Vessel Ship) Agreement on hold after

questions were raised on Turkey’s links with Pakistan and the recent diplomatic tiff

with the Recep Tayyip Erdogan Government. Turkish shipyards are major suppliers

of warships to the Navy of Pakistan. This raised serious security concerns as the

Turkish company was to manufacture ships at HSL. However, in February 2020, the

Government of India has given a nod to go ahead with the $2.3 billion deal after reviewing the concerns as mentioned above.

Reference Branch

Under this agreement, the Turkish company will manufacture 5 Fleet Vessel Ship

of 45,000 tonnes at HSL (Hindustan Shipyard Limited), Vishakhapatnam. These

ships will be used by the Indian Navy to carry fuel and other supplies to refuel its

warships at sea.

(E) India's Defence Deal with Armenia

On March 1, 2020, India signed a $ 40 million deal with Armenia, Europe to

supply 4 SWATHI weapon locating radars. The radars are capable of locating

weapons and are developed by DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation) and manufactured by BEL (Bharat Electronics Limited).

This deal will strengthen the 'Make in India' initiative by the Government of India and will brace the Indian Defence System.

(F) Defence deal with France

India ordered 36 Rafale jets from France in a deal worth Rs 59,000 crore in

September 2016 as an emergency purchase to arrest the worrying slide in the IAF’s

combat capabilities.

The five Rafale fighter jets which landed in Ambala on 29th July, 2020 would

resurrect the Number 17 Golden Arrows squadron of the Indian Air Force. It will take

the IAF’s squadron strength to 31. When all the 36 Rafale jets are delivered by 2022,

it will take it to 32 squadrons.

The state-of-the-art 4.5 Generation Rafale jet can reach almost double the speed

of sound, with a top speed of 1.8 Mach. With its multi-role capabilities, including

electronic warfare, air defence, ground support and in-depth strikes, the Rafale lends air superiority to the Indian Air Force.

Conclusion:

Indian soldiers are one of the finest in the world and it is the armament and

logistics resources that make them superior. Though traditionally Indian Defence forces

mainly relied on import of defence equipments, of late, “Atma Nirbhar” (Self-reliance) in

defence manufacturing has become a crucial component of effective defence capability

and to maintain national sovereignty and achieve military superiority. The attainment of

this objective will ensure strategic independence, cost-effective defence equipment and

may lead to saving on defence import bill, which can subsequently finance the physical and social infrastructure.

High Technology aspects concern Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Nano

Technology, Lethal Automatic Weapon Systems Directed Energy Weapons, Nuclear,

Biological and Chemical Warfare. Research in all these fields are moving at a steady

pace. Artificial Intelligence and Robotics are in a nascent stage of development. Rapid

strides are needed to be taken in the field of Nano technology as it would lead to

reduction of size and weight which would be suitable for our High Altitude and Glaciated

regions. Direct energy weapons are being developed by China and there is a need to

expedite their development. We need to build up our credible deterrence in the field of

Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Warfare.

Threats from China and Pakistan leave us with no option but to undertake

modernisation at a fast pace. The Indian Army is currently involved in meeting

challenges at the Line of Control (LoC) and Line of Actual Control (LAC). All out efforts

must be made by all concerned to expedite modernization of defence procurement,

optimising the process initiated by the Government.
